In Relentless Inc. v. Department of Commerce and Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, billionaire-backed justices on the Supreme Court are threatening to overturn 40 years of legal precedent in order to empower unelected judges to have more legislative and enforcement authority than policymakers and agency experts.
